The #Farmstock series from @WhistlePigWhiskey has become a secondary flagship product after their standard 10-Year Straight Vermont Rye. This is the second batch (or “crop”) of rye distilled with grain grown on the @WhistlePigWhiskey farm in Shoreham, Vermont. The second iteration is more robust and flavourful while maintaining a lot of the characteristic flavours from the original #Farmstock . This rye blends three (3) different rye whiskies: a 10-Year Old Canadian rye (23%), a 6-Year Old Indiana rye (45%), and a 2-Year Old Vermont rye using grains grown on-site. The result is a complex rye with a distinctly herbal character. It has some nuances that distinguish it from the Crop 001 release, and on first tasting, I preferred this second version, although long-term, it may not stack-up quite the same. Nevertheless, at about $20 cheaper, it’s worth considering reaching for this bottle over the original.

New England may be known for inclement weather and temperamental seasons. As New Englanders we adapt..
we dig ourselves out of each blizzard
we brave the rain & the wind
we sweat out the heat waves & humidity
we prepare for the worst.
⛈
But we also thrive in the beauty that each season brings. New England is unparalleled this time of year. Drove up to Vermont yesterday for some spontaneous leaf-peeping with @amandaglewis_
🍁
Now I’m headed back to Maine with @katebays @_coreye and #flypthefrenchie for some #glamping 😬

After the 10-Year old flagship, this has emerged as a secondary core product for @WhistlePigWhiskey. After previously sourcing their rye grains from outside the State of Vermont (primarily from Alberta, Canada), this as the first product released by the outstanding rye distillers incorporating grain grown on their own farm in Vermont. The result is both complex and easily drinkable, a great example of rye that also brings some unique twists along the palette.

Colour: Shimmering Golden Amber
.
Nose: Red grape skins move towards butterscotch and vanilla.
.
Palette: Caramel and cotton candy combine together before evoking Bartlett pears and apple crisp, balanced in its spicy and floral undertones with notable sweetness and a woody backdrop.
